St.
Patrick’s Day Bundt Cake
Total Time: 1
hr 15 min
Prep: 40
Cook: 35-45
min
Yield: 8-12
Ingredients
1
box of Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® French Vanilla cake mix
1
cup of water
½
cup of vegetable oil
3
eggs
Green
food coloring
1
(12 oz) can Betty Crocker® Whipped Butter Cream Frosting
Sprinkles
(Optional)
Directions
1.
Heat the oven to 325°F. Generously grease a 12-cup tube cake pan and set aside.
2.
Make the cake batter as directed on the box.
3.
Measure 1 cup of the batter and pour it into a bowl. Add a few drops of the green
food coloring and mix well until the batters turns a pastel green. Pour another
cup of the batter into a different bowl and add more green food coloring. Mix
well until it turns an emerald green.
4.
Pour the emerald green cake mix into the bottom of the greased pan. Carefully
pour the white batter over the emerald green batter. Then slowly pour the
pastel green batter over the white batter.
*Tip:
The pastel green batter does not need to completely cover the white
batter. It looks better if it just forms a ring in the center of the white
batter.
5.
Bake as directed on box or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (Each
oven is different, but I baked mine for about 35 minutes.) Let the cake cool
for about 5 minutes. Then turn the pan upside down onto a cooling rack that is
placed over a sheet of wax paper. Allow the cake to cool completely, about 30
minutes.
6.
Once the cake is cool, equally divide the frosting into 3 bowls. Microwave the
white frosting for about 15 seconds on high until it is smooth enough to
drizzle over the cake. With a spoon, drizzle the white frosting back and forth
around the whole ring in a striping pattern until you use it all.
7.
Then microwave one of the other bowls. Before drizzling, mix in a few drops of
the green food coloring until it turns a pastel green. Drizzle it over the cake
just as you did the white icing until it is completely used.
8.
Repeat with the last bowl and make the icing an emerald green.
9.
Coat the top of the cake with sprinkles while the icing is still warm so the
sprinkles will stick. Set the cake aside to completely cool.
